Julie is fed up with the way her husband, Paul, treats her. He believes the perfect wife should be "mute" and just "shut up" and do as he says.
Whenever Julie tries to talk to him about his constant put-downs and dismissiveness, Paul says it's her fault for pushing his buttons. In an effort to show Paul how he treats her, Julie secretly recorded him talking down to her.
She brought the footage to Dr. Phil. However, instead of enlightening Paul, the husband became furious.
"That was terrible… You push buttons to make me act that way and then record it," he said. "I was just being myself and that was terrible."
Julie believes that her husband still loves her, and that he wouldn't have come on the show if he didn't. But when Dr. Phil asked Paul what he wanted from Julie, he just continued to blame her for his bad behavior.
Ultimately, Dr. Phil told the couple they should consider divorce, with one important condition: They need to first make their marriage work, presumably with a professional counselor. Both Paul and Julie need to work on communicating with each other better, as they appear to be in a cycle of constantly hurting each other's feelings.
After they've exhausted all of their options, Dr. Phil believes that then and only then would they know if they were ready to end their union.
